3rd person narration:
"Yes, your grace, I heard every word."
Duke Everett smiled maliciously as the spy he had hired to follow Lilia reported the events of this evening to him. "I want to know exactly what was said."
"Lady Lilianne told the prince that she could not be with him, that she would not allow herself to fall in love with him, though she did not mention that anyone had threatened her, at first. Prince Reeve continue to try an convince her that they could be together, that they were in love. She finally told him how King Jonathan and yourself told her to leave him alone, and he promised her he would find a way for them to be together."
"That's all? Did he make any plans on how his promise would be made true?" Duke Everett asked.
"No, your grace, he simply said he would find a way, and she said if he did she would go along with it."
"I see. Thank you for your service." Duke Everett tossed the man a small leather pouch jingling with gold coins. "Continue to follow the lady, see that you watch her closely. Listen for any plans being made, report on any meetings with our prince. That is all." The man bowed and left.
"Well, this is no good," the duke spoke to the dog on the floor, who wagged it's tail. "We can't have this little Mindelan girl ruining our plans, now can we? And you know what our plans are?" The dog looked up at him. "Of course you don't! No one does, and no one will until it's too late."
